My First Entery

Hello,
I am just trying this jnode for the first time. Got the thing running in the VMWare. I am actually going to build a Java-optimised OS for an FPGA thus was looking at this OS to get ideas for implementation. My main concern is this OS has been developed for normal Computer's and thus has no Real-time analysis been done which would be very important for my work. But this is good for a starting point.

thats,
All

I'm also interested in

I'm also interested in running hardware JVM in FPGA/ASIC.
Some working projects dedicated to JVM support in FPGA (likes JOP) exist.
Lookes like FPGA Java Machines are too slow Sad
So that likely dedicated ASIC-s or in-processro java accelerators (ARM/Jazelle) are preferrable now.

If you need custom hardware logics + JVM then don't you like consider Xilinx Virtex FPGA chips which include up to 2 PowerPC hardware cores + lots of customizable CLD-s, distributed memory e.t.c.?

I hope to see JNodeOS running with Virtex ML405 evaluation boards some day after PPC architecture would be supported.
(See discussion about PPC in this forum, please!)

Realtime is mainly the matter of JVM/GC implemenation,
which actually may be plugged in JnodeOS (IMHO)

Well... there are a fiew other JVM based OS-s throughout the internet. As I know some quite compact OS exists, also the Sun
resurrected their JavaOS recently.
